Of course if you did distill your water, you'd just be killing the shrimp and then not eating them. A correctly-designed filter is what you'd want. It's an interesting question, actually: how many animals do you kill every day if you're trying not to? Let's limit it to multicellular animals, but with the shrimp in your drinking water plus the insects you breathe in, and everything you step on, and whatever might be lurking in your (non-meat) food, I'd say the typical vegan has killed a lot of animals today.
